“Once upon a time a servant boy was working in a big house beside the Black-water”
Once upon a time a servant boy was working in a big house beside the Black-water. When his boss showed him his bed it was in a very lonely part of the house.
He went to the gardner and asked him would he have any room for him. The gardener said he had.
When they were saying the Rosary that night someone began laughing in the kitchen. When they looked around they saw no one but the laughing was going on all the time.
The laughing went around the kitchen and every one of them got a box in the cheek. The gardener's wife got a bad fright.
